From 1872 to 1947, the house of Dr. Sotir Antoniadi operated as a well-functioning pharmacy. It was among the most modernly equipped pharmacies in Plovdiv at the time. Since 1981, it has housed the only museum collection of its kind in Bulgaria, dedicated to pharmacy-related artifacts. Visitors can explore the development of medicine and pharmacy from the period of the Bulgarian National Revival to the early 20th century. During that era, medicines and remedies were made entirely from natural ingredients such as herbs, minerals, and essential oils. The most popular historical methods of remedy preparation are presented here.

Day for free visit: Every first Thursday of the month for students and retired people.
